Actually it's fucking embarrassing. Democrats winning is not a loss for fascism. You could hope for it for practical reasons perhaps, but what tf does voting the Blue fascists into power have to do with *all* the fascists losing?
Jesus Christ.
Democrats are desperate to co-opt people's rage against Trump's horrifyingly inhumane & violent administration to support their *less noticeably* horrifyingly inhumane & violent version of government.
It's really disturbing. They want everyone to close their eyes, cover their ears, & shout "LALALALALA!" to cover the screams of oppressed people like they previously had been doing.
We don't live in a just, equitable, or "decent" society.
Going back to the pretense would itself be violence.
Watch them complain about *how* & *why* the US government decided to start murdering Iranians instead of complaining that they are murdering people.
They talk like it was obviously inevitable that the US *would* eventually bomb Iran. It's so disgusting.
@esoteric_programmer @artemis Absolutely they should have been dealt with, by not running coup against them in 1953 for a start.
Funny (read absolutely appalling) how so much of today's troubles were created by stuff we did a mere 3 score and ten ago.
@esoteric_programmer @hypostase @artemis Iran was a relatively liberal democracy run by sane people who nationalised the oil.
Britain, France and the US did a coup and installed the ‘loyal’ Ayatollah regime which immediately went rogue. Iran has been preparing for this assault ever since
(Note: there was probably another coup that went just as well at some point)
